Hi Allen

You'd normally use the terms dominant and recessive for qualitative traits that exist in the either-or categories.  As I said, I'd use co-dominant in this situation as it isn't as clear-cut as that.  That's why I added 'apparent' in my discussion.

Can't help myself  :-)

I can't comment on the original author's motives, but it seemed to me that it was just badly expressed, rather than trying to hide something.  Maybe a clumsy attempt to use jargon in the futile hope of sounding authoritative?

best wishes

Gavin
